Unveiled in 1872, this statue by John Quincy Adams Ward pays tribute to one of the world's most famous playwrights, who lived from 1564 to 1616.
This memorial consists of 56 stones, each with the signature, occupation and hometown of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
A circle of stones marks the site where on the evening of March 5, 1770, British soldiers fired on a mob of American colonists, killing five of them.
